Hello All…
Looking into purchasing the Gen 2 Vue to install in a 2 year old home in the US. It has a pretty standard 200A panel that also supports 5700W solar panel system with Enphase monitoring. I have a 240V outlet on a 50A circuit in the garage for my new Chevy Bolt EUV. I am installing the Emporia Level 2 EVSE to replace using the Level 2, portable EVSE the came with the car. I will be replacing a NEMA 14-50 plug (I had installed during the build) with a hardwire connection to the new EVSE. This will allow me increase my current charge rate from 32A up to 40A or even 48A. I’ll probably use the new EVSE to increase my charge rate to 40A since that will easily charge my car’s 65Kwh battery within a normal 20-80% SOC range overnight.
I’m pretty happy with the Enphase side of things. I don’t know if the Emporia will offer me any advantage in monitoring the solar system itself but I will see if it offers me any new tricks. I’m looking to monitor the rest of the house with emphasis on the HVAC, EVSE & electric water heater. For the minor additional costs I’ll probably order up the full kit.
I will contact customer support to verify a couple questions related to integrating monitoring the solar system along with what I need to monitor the 240V circuit. I think I know what they will suggest but it’s good to double check with the pros.
